Product Information
Full details
The Suplong Expandable Garden Hose is designed for homeowners and gardeners seeking a lightweight, tangle-free alternative to traditional rubber hoses for tasks like watering plants or washing vehicles. Its primary benefit is its space-saving design, as it expands to three times its length under water pressure and retracts for compact storage; however, users should note it is intended for standard residential water pressures between 3-6 bar and should avoid contact with sharp objects or high-pressure pumps.

FAQs
Can I leave the hose out in the sun?
While the materials are durable, prolonged exposure to harsh sunlight can degrade the elastic fabric over time. It is recommended to store it in a shaded area.
Will this fit a standard outdoor tap?
Yes, the hose is designed with standard connectors that fit most residential outdoor garden taps.
What should I do if the hose shrinks while I am using it?
This usually indicates the water pressure is too low. Ensure the tap is opened fully and no other major water appliances are running simultaneously.
Is this hose suitable for drinking water?
No, this hose is intended for garden and outdoor cleaning use only and is not rated for potable water.
How do I store the hose for winter?
Drain all water completely, let it retract, and store the unit in an indoor, climate-controlled space to prevent freezing.
Troubleshooting
Hose is leaking at the connection point
Ensure the rubber washer is correctly installed inside the connector and tighten the connection firmly by hand.
Hose is not expanding to its full length
Check that the water pressure at your tap is at least 3 bar. Ensure there are no kinks or folds in the hose preventing expansion.
Outer fabric appears to be snagging
Check your garden path for sharp debris or thorns and avoid dragging the hose across rough surfaces.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Extremely lightweight and easy to maneuver
- Self-draining and compact for efficient storage
- Versatile multi-function spray nozzle included
- Kink-free design eliminates frustrating tangles
Cons
- Not suitable for high-pressure systems exceeding 6 bar
- Outer fabric is susceptible to damage from thorns or sharp edges

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the hose, firmly screw the threaded end onto your standard outdoor garden tap. Ensure a rubber washer is seated correctly to prevent leaking. Before first use, gently turn the water on and allow the hose to expand fully; this helps condition the latex inner core.
Care instructions:
- Always drain the hose completely after use to help it return to its original compact form.
- Keep out of direct, prolonged sunlight when not in use to extend the lifespan of the elastic fabric.
- Avoid dragging the hose over sharp stones, thorny bushes, or metal edges that could snag the outer fabric.
- Ensure the hose is stored in a dry location during winter months to prevent freezing damage.
